shout out to that one persona 5 protag/akechi fic where:
they both mentally time travelled from before protag fakes his death to some 10 years in the future where they are married
they both immediately decide to pretend to be their future self in order to suss out information from their future husband on what went down in the metaverse 10 years ago
because of this, neither of them realize their supposed future husband is also from the past and have also time travelled
and now they're stuck in some weird game of 5d gay chicken chess where they are both fake married and really married and trying to get mission critical info from their not future husband and failing to not get distracted by the domesticty and the intimacy that their completely unnnecessary mind games have led them to act out and make them pine even more after each other
it's basically everything i could want out of this ship tbh and i grin like a loon every time i think of it
anyway, it's incomplete, but i'm still re-reading it to clear out the Bad Vibes in my head, please read it too, it's great, here's the link:
